Hillerød ((:hiːleʁœd)) is a Danish town with a population of 31,505 (1 January 2015)〔(BEF44: Population 1st January, by urban areas ) database from Statistics Denmark〕 located in North Zealand. Hillerød is the administrative centre of Region Hovedstaden (Capital Region of Denmark), one of the five regions in Denmark, and is also the third-largest town in this part of Zealand after Copenhagen and Helsingør. ==History== Hillerød was founded during the early medieval times. The name is first mentioned in 1552 as ''Hylderødz'', deriving from the male name ''Hildi'' and the suffix ''-rød'', meaning "clearing in the forest". In 1550, crown prince Frederick acquired Hillerødsholm in exchange for another properties. His son, Christian IV, tore down most of the old buildings and built a new castle between 1602 and 1625. It was never officially incorporated as a market town but prospered from ample privileges afforded by successive monarchs, although it experienced a set back when Frederick IV moved court to Fredensborg Palace in the 1720s. Hillerød was from 1772 until 1908 named Frederiksbog after its castle. Its first town council was established in 1778 and its town shield, which features a flowering elder tree, is from 1787.〔 The arrival of the railway brought new prosperity to the town, when the Zealand Railway Company opened the final stage of the North Line between Copenhagen and Helsingør on 8 June 1864. It was later followed by the Gribskov Line to Græsted (80, extended to Gilleleje in 1896, Helsinge in 1897 and Tisvildeleje in 1924) and the Frederiksværk-Hundested Line (1897-1916), which further contributed to Hillerød's status as a local commercial centre. The improvements in infrastructure also attracted new industries. These included Nordstens Fabrikker, a manufacturer of agricultural machinery, which opened in 1877. A privately owned slaughterhouse and meetpacking facility, Hillerød Svineslagteri, opened in 1896. It was converted into the cooperative Hillerød Andelssvineslagteri by 300 local farmers in 1913. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hillerød」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
